Halfway There...

Assalamu Alikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh,

This past weekend successfully concludes our 6th course, alhamdullilah. We are exactly halfway through the first diploma. Despite the rainy weather at the beginning of the seminar, the turnout was great (especially on the sisters' side).

As you all know, Dr. Mohammad Salah came all the way from Egypt to teach this course. There was never a dull moment throughout the weekend. His interactive style definitely kept us attentive and entertained. It's always a pleasure to have him return for another gripping seminar. And as always, it is gratifying to see the faces of returning students, eager to receive more knowledge. Your exam scores definitely show your dedication!

I think it's necessary for all of us to just take a moment and look at how far we have come in our deen and intellect, how stronger our Iman has become, how closer to the life of our beloved prophet, may peace and blessings be upon him. I am certain the outcome of this self evaluation will help us overcome any obstacles we may come across along this righteous path. We look forward to seeing you all at the next seminar inshallah.
